Breeding & Abnormal Eleons
Breeding is a confirmed launch feature of Eleons: two Eleons can be paired to produce so-called abnormal Eleons - offspring with elevated power and stats that inherit abilities from their parents.
The developers' own feature descriptions, mirrored across community wikis, confirm that numerous Eleons will be breedable with one another. The output is a distinct class called abnormal Eleons, described as carrying immense power and stats and inheriting abilities from both parents.
That ability-inheritance line is the strategic hook: breeding is positioned as the endgame route to stronger, customized creatures rather than just a way to fill the Eleonpedia. Exact stat formulas, costs and pairing rules have not been published.
Breeding is also the single most debated mechanic on the official forums - players have raised concerns about what it does to the rarity economy before the game has even launched.
What is confirmed vs. unknown
Confirmed: breeding exists at launch, works across numerous species pairings, and produces abnormal Eleons with inherited abilities and boosted stats. This comes from the game's official feature descriptions and is repeated consistently across independent community wikis.
Unknown: whether shiny status or rarity tiers can be inherited, whether breeding has costs, cooldowns or item requirements, how abnormal Eleons differ visually, and whether bred creatures are tradeable. None of this has been officially detailed - treat any specific numbers you see on fan sites as speculation until launch.
The community debate
A widely read thread on the official forums (forums.eleonsonline.com, 'Breeding Eleons is an HORRIBLE idea', posted pre-release) argues that breeding could let players mass-duplicate extremely rare creatures - the example raised was a one-of-a-kind shiny of Mythic rarity being bred into copies, collapsing its value. The thread illustrates the trading-economy stakes: with ranked PvP seasons and trading both confirmed, how breeding interacts with rarity will define the endgame economy. The developers have not yet published their answer.
